    For three months in '92        when I was such a wreck

G |-0--------------2--------0---------5--------5-----7--------7---------------|
D |-------2-----0--------0---------5--------5-----7--------7------------------|

    I spent endless evenings with my face draped against your neck

D |-------2-----0--------0---------5--------5-----7--------7------------------|

    It hurt when I was empty and friends just turned away

E |---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

    It was you who chose to stay...

    And help me heal, pieced me back into a whole
    Now it's you who is aching and needs to be consoled
    But can't you see I'm happy now?
    I don't want to sit and watch you cry
    I wish you'd keep it all inside

   (chorus)
      Yes you're anguish,    do you think that you're the first?
E |-2------------------------2----------------------------2-------------------|
B |-2------------0-----1-----3----------------------------2-------------------|
G |-0------------4-----0-----2----------------------------0-------------------|
D |-0------------2-----2-----0----------------------------0-------------------|
A |-2------------4-----3----------------------------------3-------------------|
E |-3------------0-----3----------------------------------2-------------------|

    Since when am I indentured to be your private nurse?
E |-------------------------------2-------------------x-----------------------|

G |---------------4--------0------2-------------------x-----------------------|
D |---------------2--------2------0-------------------x-----------------------|
A |---------------4--------3--------------------------------------------------|

    Maybe this callousness is a form of love that I extend
E |-0----------x------------------------------------2-------------------------|
B |-1----------x-1----------------------------------3-------------------------|
G |-2----------x-0----------------------0-----------2-------------------------|
D |-2----------x-2----------------------2-----------0-------------------------|
A |-0------------3----------------------2-------------------------------------|
E |--------------3----------------------0-------------------------------------|


    Because I know if you face the hurt alone you'll be stronger in the end

D |--x--------2--------------------2--------------------2---------------0-----|

    So don't play off my concience   like I should wipe away your tears
E |---------2--------------------------------------2--------------2-----------|

G |---------0-----------------4----0---------------2--------------0-----------|
D |---------0---------------2---2--2---------------0--------------0-----------|

    Just let your burdens       fall on someone else's ears
E |-------------------------------------2-------------------------------------|

    I don't know how long I can sit with you this time
    The sufferings in your life shrouds the joy in mine
    So maybe you should just call me when this sadness finally ends
    and you're ready to laugh again

   (chorus)
    Spare me the drama, do you think that you're the first
    Since when am I indentured to be your private nurse?
    Sometimes detachment is the thing we need most
    And if you'd consider me you'd veil this pain you host
    So don't play off my concience like
    I should help you through your fears
    Just let your burdens fall on someone else's ears

   (bridge)
      Because tonight a hundred pretty people were waiting in line to wash

    away the guilt you gave me, they said the concert was sublime

   (chorus)
    So if you want my attention, you'd better join the crowd and cheer
    And let your burdens fall on someone else's ears

   (guitar 1)
    For three months in '92 when I was such a wreck
    I spent endless evenings with my face draped against your neck


Transcriber Notes:

I tabbed this out mostly from the 16 Nudes version as opposed to the one on 
Self-Untitled. There are some minor differneces, but they're practically 
the same. 

Stu adds a low G note when he starts singing the first line of each verse. 

    For three months...
E |--------------------|
B |----0-----0--------3|
G |-0--------------2---|
D |-------2-----0------|
A |--------------------|
E |[3]-----------------|

When Stu sings the verse... "While you were shaking in the corner..." an 
alternate way to play it goes as follows:

    While you were shaking in some corner...
E |-----------------------------------------|
B |-----------------------------------------|
G |----------------2---------2--------------|
D |-------x--x--x--3---x--x--3--x--2--------|
A |-------x--x--x--3---x--x--3--x--2--------|
E |-------x--x--x--1---x--x--1--x--0--------|

Note during the final verse, Stu plays the chorus for the first two lines and 
then does the main melody for the last two. Hope you enjoy playing this one.
